    AbstractA new generation artificial airway--a laryngeal mask (LM)--was examined for effects on a laryngeal function in general anesthesia. Topographic-anatomic characteristics of the upper respiratory tracts which make impossible an adequate wearing of LM as well as frequency and severity of laryngeal LM-induced complications were specified. The comparison of the changes in the laryngopharynx and larynx due to LM and endotracheal tube has demonstrated that LM is more safe for anatomic and functional state of the larynx and for mucosa of the upper respiratory tracts than the tube. LM provides general anesthesia in problematic intubation. Employment of LM raises quality of anesthesia, reduces the number of intra- and postoperative laryngeal complications in conduction of general anesthesia.
